Job Ads

The social media phenomenon that is Twitter continues to attract third-party developers with the London-based WorkDigital developing TwitterJobSearch, a job search engine for the microblogging service now available online (in beta, of course).

Job description: The software implementation analyst ensures that deployments of new applications or upgrades are planned and carried out correctly. They act as a bridge between the software developer and the IT infrastructure team that handles installation and maintenance, says Carlo Carbetta, vice president of operations development at CIO Partners, an executive search firm. They determine whether the applications interoperate with existing systems and plan for customization or integration work. This person may be involved in testing, creating documentation and dealing with end users.

The Australian IT&T industry has extended its decline in online job ads for the fifth month in a row.

Job ads in the IT sector dropped 8.8 percent in June, the second weakest performing sector after Financial Services, to bring its overall decline to 1.3 percent over the past year.

Companies counting on their Web sites to scoop up the best talent available need to add interactive features that help educate job searchers, but avoid superfluous bells and whistles, according to a new study.

A new job search Web site that aims to help the cream of Australia's IT crop find specialised positions is doing battle against the anonymous recruiter-ridden job search giants like Seek and MyCareer.

Job advertisements for the IT sector took a hard blow last month, falling 1.92 percent to cap off a 10 percent fall in IT jobs over the past three months, according to the Olivier Job Index.
